Dealing can be shown by either direct or circumstantial evidence. See Stokes v. State, 801 N.E.2d 1263, 1271-72 (Ind. Ct. App. 2004). “Because intent is a mental state, a trier of fact must generally resort to the reasonable inferences arising from the surrounding circumstances to determine whether the requisite intent exists. Circumstantial evidence showing intent to deliver may support a conviction for dealing in cocaine. Possession of a large quantity of drugs, money, plastic bags, and other paraphernalia is circumstantial evidence of intent to deliver. Furthermore, the more narcotics a person possesses, the stronger the inference that he intended to deliver it and not consume it personally.” Wilson v. State, 754 N.E.2d 950, 957 (Ind. Ct. App. 2001).
